Joe Bonamassa Official - "The Ballad of John Henry" - Tour de Force: Royal Albert Hall

I still can't fathom this gentleman's performance on his guitar. Unbelievably awesome!

[@Riffster59]

Is that not Rory Gallaghers guitar?

This is truly an amazing gig! Its crazy to think that 147 people actually have given this song a thumbs down. Some people have no taste! Who are these people?!

What an honor to hold and play the guitar of Rory Gallagher. My heart.

While listening to this amazing rendition of this song was playing, I was hoping I could find out about the guitar Joe was playing. Thank you!

[@nightsonnyjim]

I scrolled through the comments to see who caught that....you were first.

[@4747robo]

Did Joe borrow or buy Rory's guitar? Just wondering because it is priceless.

[@Allurarose]

@@4747robo It was borrowed.

[@chrisryan7918]

It was loaned to him for this gig - I think he says thank you to Rory's brother Donal at the end of the song for letting him play it 🙂

[@julieredmon1521]

That freaking drum beat is insane. Sitting here trying to keep up with the timing of the kick and the snare. Incredible. Love it.

[@geol1936]

Joe was terrific as usual. Caught his last U.S. show before he heads out on your again. Enjoy! I could sit there for 5 hours and not notice. Joe and his band played about 2:20 and it flew by. You are in for a treat if (former Stevie Ray Vaughan) keyboardist Reese Wymans does the European Tour. I'm guessing he will. Fantastic keyboardist.

One of his best songs right here ! Actually every song he does is beyond perfection.

[@thomasbradley2677]

All hail, JB! First time I heard him, I was like, Who the fung goo is this guitar 🎸 brudda? The use of the Thermin is right up there with Jimmy Page. JB has an awesome band surrounding him! Drummer 🥁 is a clock. Keys are mystical. Bass is monstrous. Background vocals are Awesome. As a guitar 🎸 player, I would feel privileged, to carry His guitar picks out on stage, to present to him. 😂. Rock JB. Thank You, for keeping Da Blues Alive. The Atomik sends. Peace ✌

[@mattjohnson6227]

This is my favorite band he’s put together. Such power.

[@motorcaster57]

Joe has a way of getting inside his own guitar playing and just becoming the notes and the instrument that produces them... I saw him two nights ago in Durham and he just gets inside of the guitar and squeezes out his emotions... I've never seen anything like and I have seen a lot of guitar players... He is not just a blues musician... It is obvious he can play in any style.. He just prefers blues!!!!

[@jennacrystalblue2244]

Awesome version of an awesome song. for those in the comments who are asking, drummer is Tal Bergman, an israeli-american guy, plays for Rock Candy Funk Party. apparently he prides himself in being versatile in multiple genres of music and this is not his typical genre.

There’s nothing I can say that top any comment here now. This is my favorite song that he does and Joe becomes one with his guitar because his music is coming from inside his soul. Every song he plays he’s sharing with all of us no matter what guitar he uses. But the sound that he squeezes out from his guitars is like no other person. A master guitar player for sure.
